● Complete the registration form and submit the supporting documents per the requirements. The organizing committee will review applications on the basis of the order of submission (first come, first served).

● No lottery is in use for this event. Registration must be completed before the deadline.

5.2 Race Service:

If a runner fails to finish successfully in 2018 due to time cut-off restrictions (does not apply to one’s own decision to DNF or otherwise not finish), he/she will be eligible for entry in the 2019 edition.

● Prize money/awards Delivery Process: After the competition is over, the organizing committee will publicize the results on the official WeChat public platform for 10 days. During these ten days, appeals will be accepted. Afterward, if no appeals are fielded, the organizing committee will contact the winning contestants to issue prizes within 5 working days.

This competition is a 100km self-navigated and self-supported event. Runners compete on the course as designed by the organizing committee and must complete the race using their own navigation devices. Two checkpoints are staged at various points along the course. These two checkpoints only provide cold and hot water to the runners. Before the race starts, runners will have the opportunity to have drop bags of equipment/gear, clothing and food deposited at these two points, but the full kit of mandatory equipment must be carried throughout the race. Participants must complete the competition by means of their own personal strength. They must not rely on any outside transportation or means of movement, manual or motorized, vehicles, animals, or otherwise, nor with the help or support of arranged or non-arranged outsiders or support provided by the race organizing committee. Violators will be disqualified and no complaints fielded. The race route will be released at the technical meeting.

In addition to the timing checkpoint at the start/finish line of the competition, other timing points will be in use along the course. Runners must pass through and receive confirmation that their time has been recorded at each timing point. Skipping a checkpoint or not having one’s time recorded at any one of the timing checkpoints will disqualify the concerned runner and invalidate one’s results.

In order to guarantee the safety of participating athletes, the cut-off time of this competition is 30 hours. In the same manner, every checkpoint will have cut-off times set in relation to their position on the course. The time that a runner leaves a checkpoint will be their recorded time; cut-off times are in effect from that point. The arrival time to a checkpoint is not considered; if a competitor arrives before the cut-off time but leaves after the cut-off time is past, he/she will be disqualified. Runners subjected to a cut-off time must immediately retire from the race and not continue onwards. Runners who choose to not continue onward (due to poor condition, one’s own decision to retire, injury or otherwise) in the race or who are subjected to a cut-off time must register at the nearest aid station and make arrangements with the staff to return to the race finish line.

Every participating athlete shall drop off and pick up the transfer bags of equipment/gear in accordance with the rules and regulations. Valuables should not be stored in the bag (such as mobile phones, official ID/ certificates, cash, credit cards, keys, mobile devices, etc). Upon one’s return to the finish line whether from DNF or after completing the race, runners can retrieve their stored items at the gear check point. If you do not return to the finish line within the race cut-off time to collect your stored gear, you can contact the Organizing Committee the next day to receive it. If you do not arrange to pick up your bag within that following day, the Organizing Committee will dispose of it.

When the contestant collects the event package, he/she needs to pay a GPS tracker deposit of RMB 500. After completion of the race, competitors can collect the deposit upon return of their GPS tracker. If there is any loss or damage, the deposit will not be refunded.

Mandatory equipment will be checked at the time of the athlete race packet pick-up site. If there is a missing item, the race packet will not be issued. Gear will also be checked at the starting line; the absence of any one item will disqualify the runner. During the race, runners will also be subject to random gear checks from on-course staff. Runners found to be without a piece of mandatory gear will be disqualified there and then. Gear will also be checked at the two checkpoints for changing clothing and equipment, runners found out to be without all mandatory equipment will not be allowed to check-out from the checkpoints.
